HOW TO

Tools: Reciprocating Saw(hack saw)
Ruler(to measure out the box, where you want the sun to come through)
Some Cellophane(would use some "glad" wrap)
Some "duck" tape
Directions: measure and draw out the Square on your roof
then take the saw and cut it out
Now that you have your sun roof we need to cover it to keep the elements out!
Take the cellophane warp and stretch it over the hole you just made
then take the tape and tape the edges around the hole to keep the cellophane
from getting thrown off!
And the re you have it your cheap sunroof!

Lol im just kidding bro. I have been wanting a sunroof in my car to. To me it seems that it would be best to get an after market one installed. But then I heard they leak. But Im sure that if its done right it won't. And I have know some people who have them and they have no problems. Well good luck! and don't do my how to lol that would be insane.

well first off.... you get what you pay for.... IMO aftermarket sunroofs suck! most of them leak... lets face it a OEM sunroof has built in leak drains. aftermarket ones have non and leak alot.
so IMO if it didnt have a sunroof factory then leave it alone.... OR pay for ALOT OF WORK and swap the roof out for one that has a oem sunroof! tho thats definatly not cheap/easy.LOL you replace the whole roof assembly not just that section.

i was told that you can just cut the whole roof off a ex and place it on a hatch,,,but you need to cut as much as possible and weld ..

Easiest and cheapest is pay someone else to do it.

Installing an OEM one is for the picky people who are cool with cutting their car apart.
